The most magical medal Monday!!! ๐
๐๐ปโโ๏ธโจ
Honestly Iโm still trying to find the words to process what I did yesterday because Iโm still in utter shock that I did it. I went into the marathon yesterday saying โokay this is a breeze, itโs been so easy so far, I got thisโ and then by mile 13 of the marathon I was dying ๐คฃ It honestly was super easy up until this point. I was well rested, going into every day with a fresh mind, fresh legs, and all the motivation to get it done. I was soaring through the first half of the marathon and feeling SO good. And then it hit me like a freight train just how sore and exhausted my body was from the days before. I took it slow for the rest of the marathon and just soaked it all in (while internally battling with myself to keep moving forward). Thankfully with a mix of walk/ run (thank you for your incredible strategy) I was able to push myself to the end through all the pain. Iโm so incredibly proud of myself. This is the toughest thing Iโve ever done (and may ever do) and it just shows how strong our bodies and our minds really are. Thank you D***y for giving me the experience of a lifetime ๐๐๐โจ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
